Art Contest(s) coming in March
First Contest (subject to be voted on): March 15th to May 1st, Winners chosen May 14th
Second Contest (subject to be voted on): May 15th to July 1st, Winners chosen July 14th
Third Contest (subject to be voted on): July 15th to September 1st, Winners chosen September 14th
Fourth Contest (subject to be voted on): September 15th to November 1st, Winners chosen November 14th
This last October, I ran an art contest to choose the cover artist for my more recent novel, Divine Blood. I'm now going to run another contest in several rounds targeted at all my stories so far published.
I currently have four published world settings:
Bystander - superhero near-future
Divine Blood - sci-fi/paranromal high school story
Greenwater - serial novel in a fantasy world
Zodiacs - heroic wu-xia/western/samurai fantasy
These world settings can be purchased here: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.p...
and here:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_...
There are also public chapters for some of these stories here in my Gallery in the Public Chapters section.
Now, currently, I am getting ready to move to Japan in March, so consider this a "get-ready" announcement, because I am conserving most of my current money for that trip.
When I close the current poll on Thursday, I will put up a new one to poll people as to which story setting they want to see a contest for first and leave it up for a week, closing it on the 26th. After which, I will post a second poll, closing that on the 31st. The third poll will close on the 7th of February at which point we'll be down to one setting left.
These polls will determine the order in which the settings will be featured.
The first contest will start March 15th and be closed on May 1st. Selection will last two weeks and end on May 14th.
Entries would be posted to the participants gallery and sent to me in a note (I might be out of connection for the some of the first contest, due to moving to another country). Entries info blocks should contain the participant's review of the story and a link to either the story's drivethruRPG or amazon.com site. Reviews don't have to be extensive, just give a summary of what you thought.
There will be two categories: scene and portrait.
The winning scene will receive a signed copy of the book and be commissioned to do a poster scene for $100.
The winning portrait will receive a signed copy of the book and be commissioned to do a portrait for $50.
That's around $170 worth of prizes right there, and if any of my watchers wants to donate other prizes to the pot, I'm definitely willing to give people a bit more exposure.
The second contest will run May 15th through July 1st with selection of winners ending at July 14th. The third, July 15th through September 1st, with selection ending September 14th. The last contest this year will run September 15th through November 1st with selection ending by November 14th.
I will connect all contest entries to as many of the various groups I am part of so as to give the user exposure. I will also maintain a journal entry showcasing the art of these contests. Entrants also come to my eye and I have recently budgeted $15 to my monthly account to commission sketches and art of my published characters and creations. Also, my RP supplements need art, lots more art than my novels....and I'd like a variety of artists for those.
Note, I hope and plan to use :iconArcosArt: and :iconPeipp: for future Divine Blood cover and novel art, but I have no standing artist in mind for my other three world settings and this is a good chance to get looked at for those world settings.
So that's the deal.
You give me art, I give you exposure, pay you for more art and send you a copy of one of my books.
If you're interested, please comment here.
If you're an artist that would like to offer further prizes to participants, note me.
If you have questions about scenes in the book also note me.
You do not have to purchase the electronic PDF or kindle copies to participate, but if you don't you'll be limited primarily to the public chapters.

Contest Schedule Delayed
The new schedule looks like this:
First Contest
Subject: Divine Blood
Start: April 15th
End: June 1st
Winner's Selected: June 14th
Second Contest
Subject: Zodiacs
Start: Junel 15th
End: August 1st
Winner's Selected: August 14th

End: October 1st
Winner's Selected: October 14th
Fourth Contest
Subject: Greenwater
Start: October 15th
End: December 1st
Winner's Selected: December 14th
Part of the reason for the delay is a need to confirm some prizes and also the fact that I may find it necessary to purchase a new desktop once I am in Japan.
In any case, I'm looking at the following prizes right now:
Scene Category (~$120)
1st Place - 5,000 deviant art points, signed copy of book
2nd Place - 2,000 deviant art points
3rd Place - 1,000 deviant art points
Portrait Category (~$70)
1st Place - 2,500 deviant art points, signed copy of book
2nd Place - 1,000 deviant art points
3rd Place - 500 deviant art points
For best overall, a Commission. I want to check with a specific artist right now, but if I can't get an agreement by April, I'll just offer a commission of appropriate worth.
All the books are purchasable for $3 through both Amazon and DrivethruRPG right now.
